THE NEIGHBORS FEEL LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SET BY SOMEONE THEY HAVING A DISPUTE WITH. A FIRE BURNING AT A RECYCLING PLANT IN STOCKTON COULD EARN FOR DAYS. THIS FIRE BROKE OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT ALONG WEBER AVENUE AND NORTH FILBERT STREET IN STOCKTON. YOU CAN SEE THE MASSIVE FIRE RESPONSE AND A LOT OF THE FLAMES. MOUNDS OF DEBRIS WERE FUELING THIS FIRE. FIRE CREWS ARE STILL KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH AS THE FIRE CONTINUES TO SMOLDER. ATOP A LADDER TRUCK, THIS IS A FIREFIGHTER'S PERSPECTIVE OF THE THICK BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES RISING FROM A TWO ALARM BLAZE AT THIS RECYCLING FACILITY. THE FIRE WAS REPORTED AFTER MIDNIGHT AND SPREAD THROUGH THE DEBRIS PILE THAT IS ESTIMATED AT 60 FEET DEEP. I CANNOT PUT ENOUGH WATER ON IT TO PENETRATE THAT MATERIAL SO I MAY BE ABLE TO DARKEN IT DOWN AND SEND EVERY BUDDY HOME. I THE TIME WE PICKED UP OUR HOSE IT WOULD BE GOING AGAIN. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF SHOOTING 1000 GALLONS PER MINUTE. THEY HAVE TWO OF THEM RUNNING. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF WATER HAVE FLOODED ONTO THIS FIRE. AS CREWS FIGHT THE FIRE FROM ABOVE, HEAVY MACHINERY IS TAKING IT APART BELOW ALLOWING THE WATER TO REACH THE CORE OF THE HEAT. I EXPECT WE WILL BE HERE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE DARK CLOUD OF SMOKE IS DRIFTING ACROSS THE FREEWAY. DRIVERS STRUGGLED TO SEE WHERE THEY WERE GOING. KIDS WALKING TO SCHOOL USED T- SHIRTS TO FILTER THE SMOKE. I COULD NOT SPEAK OR YOU DO HAVE TO COVER YOUR NOSE AND STUFF. IT KIND OF SMELLS. THE FIRE IS OUT BUT FIRE CREWS WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND CHECK FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT REKINDLE. THE
